Apple has no shame in directly comparing itself to its competitors; almost always over-exaggerating their flaws. Nevertheless, its marketing has worked as Apple has been cannibalizing Microsoft's goodwill and RIMM's market share among consumer (while aiming at enterprise users). If Research In Motion and Microsoft management had any brains, they would jump on the unstable iPhone and MobileMe debacle. But, apparently, they lack both brains and balls.
Why do Apple fanboys always think Apple was the first to do something? (Hint: Apple did not "start" Video on Demand for your television or via the Internet/Data Networks to your computer).
The Engadget Hierarchy Step 1. Post significant Apple news. Step 2. Post insignificant Apple news. Step 3. Post reruns of said Apple news. Step 4. Sprinkle in very significant news from all other companies from time to time.
Slamming almost (literally) every product as an inferior emulation of a "superior" Apple products, considering a $30 discount on an iPod shuffle "newsworthy," and giving minute by minute updates on when the Apple store goes down . . . What are the chances that the blatant bias for Apple exceeds mere fanboyism and propelled by some type of business relationship with Engadget? At the very least, they do advertise on this website, right? Motive = follow the money trail.
If I wanted to know if Steve Jobs farted today, this is the first website I'd check.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
